Description
The Old Vicarage is a detached house dating from the early 19th century. It has a rendered exterior and a two-span hipped roof covered with Welsh slate, featuring deep eaves and rendered stacks. The building is designed in an L-shape, with the entrance located on the right side.
It is two stories tall and has six windows. The entrance is marked by a square porch that has a half-glazed door set in a semi-circular opening, complete with a keystone and imposts. The porch features a cornice above a flat roof, and inside, there is a six-panelled inner door. To the left of the porch is a blind segmental-headed window, while to the right are a 20th-century casement window, a sixteen-pane sash window, and a two-light casement window.
On the first floor, there are two blind windows and three segmental-headed sixteen-pane sashes, along with a semi-circular headed stair window to the right of the porch. The south front of the house has a tented verandah supported by trellised wooden posts, adorned with a decorative canopy edge. The ground floor features two tripartite twelve-pane sash windows, while the first floor has two segmental-headed sash windows.
On the left side of the building, there are margin-pane French windows on the ground floor, and the rear wing to the left includes a semi-circular-headed door and casement window, along with a sixteen-pane sash window on the first floor. The interior has not been inspected.
